School Attendance

How can parents and carers help?

• Ensure that children attend school every day. 
• Ensure that children arrive to school on time. Registration begins at 8:25am. Students arriving after this time will receive a same day detention. Any student arriving to school after 8:30am will be marked L and will receive a 20 minute detention that day. 
• Contact your child’s Achievement Leader Support Assistant on 01773 811737 by 9am on every day of absence stating the reason. 
• Medical appointments should be made outside school hours. Students will be asked to show appointment cards. 
• Ensure that holidays are not taken during term time. 
• Seek help from school if requiring assistance in improving a child’s attendance or punctuality.
• Support the school and the pastoral team in improving their child’s attendance and punctuality levels by attending meetings and engaging with agencies.
• Have a regular early bed time, have quiet time before bed, turn off the TV, computer, tablets and mobile phones.
• Give them their own alarm clock.
• Have their bag, equipment, planner and uniform ready the night before.
